Fanny & Alexander, or F&A’s as known by most, has been serving the local community for over 10 years by going above and beyond with live music and daily happy hours. Young professionals and Stanford students fill this trendy bar which boasts 17 beers on tap in addition to an expansive selection of wines and mixed drinks. The spacious bar boasts several TVs, and the most popular sports event is always on for your viewing pleasure.

Want specials? You got ‘em. Every Tuesday, F&A’s hosts Taco’s and Tunes. Dollar tacos and drink specials are a great way for students to kick back and relax with live music. Yearly events include their “McFanny’s” party on St. Patrick’s Day and their annual party on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

Offering more than just upscale bar food, the kitchen is known for a pleasing array of signature entrees. Appetizers are served all the way until closing time, and their dinner favorites — the Philly cheese steak and Cajun chicken sandwiches — are to die for. As the evening progresses, tables are cleared away inside to make room for dancing with DJs playing hip hop hits late into the night. While the bar is supposed to close at 1:30, it’ll stay open later if enough guests are still hanging out.

If you’re not feeling the nightclub scene, just step outside to one of the largest patios at any bar in the area, with plenty of room to hang out. The outdoor bar is a great place to grab a quick cocktail under the stars.

F&A’s is often the host of official Senior Nights, and, if you haven’t noticed, “unofficial” bar nights are at F&A’s for a reason. Whether you’re there for dinner, happy hour or the nightclub, you’ll be sure to have a great time at F&A’s. n
